Great house to use as a base for travels!

My family stayed here for three nights at the end of a 12 day trip to Alaska. The house is beautiful with plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed to make our own meals. There was plenty of space for relaxing, and having multiple bathrooms was fantastic for getting ready in the morning! There is a lot to do in the area. Though Alaska is large, there is still plenty to see and do within driving distance of the house! We did some hiking just outside of Anchorage at Eagle River Nature Center and went downtown to do a little shopping and eat dinner. We were supposed to have a bear sightseeing tour out of Anchorage but low clouds and rain prevented our plane from leaving. We made the most of it and were able to plan another day trip instead since we were centrally located! When we left, it was less than a 20 minute drive to the airport.If you have a larger family or kids who just need a little space during a long trip, this is the house for you!

We are a 2 generation family of 7 with a 2 year old and our stay stay was amazing at this home! It was very spacious and well equipped with everything we needed even for our toddler. The location was convenient to downtown and the airport with about a 15-20 minute easy drive. Troy was was very responsive and kind when we had questions. Overall, we had a great experience and would love to stay there again! We would highly recommend!

Wonderful house in Anchorage

We’re a group of 9 and the house suited our needs perfectly. It’s very spacious and open. The house was spotless upon arrival, the beds were all comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The fire pit in the back was a nice bonus. We highly recommend this house for a stay in Anchorage.

Clean, beautifully equipped, excellent communication with property manager, nice yard, large usable garage, modern appliances, large beds. Special requests were easily and kindly accommodated by the owner and property manager. Unless you want or need to stay near the city center you would be hard pressed to find a better place! Highly recommended.

Absolutely wonderful family vacation! The house was ideal for our family with ages ranging from 3 months to 60 plus and lots of ages in between! Beautiful home with many amenities and an amazing fire pit. Ideally located close to airport, town, grocery stores, restaurants and more. Troy and Dawn were incredibly easy to work with and responded in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend this home!

We enjoyed our stay - everything was as described & perfect for our family of 7. Dawn was amazing & even called us an hour after we left to let us know we had forgotten a coat. We swing back by & picked it up on it return from Denali and we’re on it way. Convenient location- 45 minutes from activities in Palmer & a bit farther to Whittier. Kitchen/towels well stocked.

Our family enjoyed a wonderful stay in Alaska. Our house manager, Dawn, could not have been more helpful. The house was in a great location and it was very well furnished. Sometimes the photos do not truly represent the VRBO listing, but this time they were accurate. We can recommend this property without hesitation.
